Sorry it took me so long Stan...

 

 

Hey Dustin,

Thanks for the pic.  That thing jig is awesome, makes me pert near embarrassed that I posted pics of mine    

Would like to see some pics of your arrows when you get them done as well.  Take care,

Stan

Stan, that was excellent. Jawge

Stan,
 Your whole set up is awesome to me. I just kinda copied yours, and just happen to have aluminum laying around. After reading through this again, I'm liking the idea of a 11/32 point end and the 5/16 nock end.

Thanks again Stan for writing this!

I'm starting to get crazy ideas of mounting the 3/8" dowel cutter just before the taper jig. That would be great to run a square stock through and come out with a 11/32" shaft in under a minute!!

Awesome tutorial, Thanks

Stan, cuold you please post a close -up of your high=tech spining machine so we can better see the detail. Would like to make one of those myself. Thanks, Rich

Dustin - I'd buy a "blue" planer belt from Klingspor to cut up and use in that jig. The abrasive is aluminum zirconia.  planer belts  It will clog less than sandpaper with aluminum oxide. The aluminum zirconia is agressive and sharp. We use planer belts on the sander when we make rattan kids bows. Good stuff!

Thanks for that info Tom Leemans!
I'll have to try some of that.
